Members of Congress: Pass the Government By The People Act

Government by the people, of the people, and for the people is eroded when billionaires can make unlimited campaign contributions. Over 130 Representatives have already sponsored the Government By The People Act. It’s time for you to pass that bill and reverse the damage done to our democracy by the McCutcheon and Citizens United decisions.Read more...

The Government By The People Act will match small-dollar donations with public funds, turning a $25 contribution into $175 -- or $100 into $700. This will incentivize candidates to pay attention to everyday voters, not big-money donors. It helps overturn the McCutcheon and Citizens United decisions and starts to get big money out of our politics.

The Government By The People Act is already endorsed by over 40 progressive, labor, and good government organizations -- including the Sierra Club and the NAACP. It’s time for Congress to recognize massive public outrage over the horrible McCutcheon decision and pass this bill.
